Yes, it is. But it is still an 800# bike that only will see the quarter mile a couple times. Probably would not be able to justify the cost.

Hmm, I thought it was only a couple hundred more. I was thinking since you went with timkin and H beam rods, it was pennies in comparison to the whole picture.

Yea, maybe. But when do you stop adding a couple more hundred?
I wanted a great running, durable motor. I figure that's where I'm at. I am still considering roller rockers. But I never think a bought them while I am ridding , so who knows.

Nice build. Those TW 777 cams sure make a nice curve IMO. Not to flat.

Is it just me or is it uncommon to see such high numbers for a 107" build?

Are you implying that I have misrepresented the fact in some Way?
My build did turn out great. But it is not out of range of many other quality 107 builds.

When a 107 is done by a competent builder, you will get numbers well over 100/100. Mine is 121h/132t using Axtel jugs, S&S 585EZ-G cams, silver bullet heads, true duals, 10.5:1 etc., etc. It is fun to ride. I kept going through 200mm rear tires in under 5K miles, so I put a car tire on it.
